I don't think there's any copyvio there... the text is too small to be readable on the movie screen, and the Victoria image is public domain. But the movie industry is as a whole pretty anal about crediting even the most incidental use of copyrighted or trademarked things... is there any mention of Wikipedia somewhere in the closing credits?
There probably should be. For news report usage, the trademarks are expressly allowed to be used (saves us lots of phone calls). For other movie/TV uses, production companies will generally call. Remember that there are people whose entire job is clearing trademarks and copyrights for reuse.
(I'd expect they'd use the puzzle globe to establish it's Wikipedia the character is looking at, and put some [[lorem ipsum]] text on the screen or printout.)
